We offer a contract-based Lead Wedding Coordinator role that presents a unique opportunity for experienced individuals who are eager to lead and manage wedding events.

This role requires providing hands-on leadership and management of wedding day activities, ensuring that logistics, timelines, and client expectations are met with precision and professionalism. Responsibilities include leading final details calls with clients, facilitating ceremony rehearsals, managing vendor interactions, overseeing event setup, and problem-solving to keep the day running smoothly from start to finish.
With pay ranging from $275 to $300 for a commitment of about 10 to 12 hours per project, this position offers competitive compensation paid per completed wedding. Comprehensive training is also provided to ensure that each coordinator is fully equipped to succeed and uphold the high standards of Leigh & Co. Events. Candidates must bring at least two years of relevant experience, exceptional communication skills, a detail-oriented mindset, and physical ability to lift and carry items weighing up to 30 pounds.
